EURO 2020 belatedly gets underway this evening when Turkey take on Italy at 8pm UK time.
English supporters have high hopes, as a team chock with youthful attacking vigour and blessed with one of the most clinical finishers in world football is among the favourites to hoist the Henri Delaunay aloft at Wembley on July 11.
The Three Lions will kick-off their campaign on Sunday at 2pm looking to avenge their 2018 World Cup semi-final exit against a technically proficient Croatia side led by evergreen talisman Luka Modric.

Prediction
I would love England to bring home the trophy, my main reservations surround Jordan Pickford's propensity for rashness and the backline's dependence on — possibly unfit — centre half Harry McGuire, which undermines a sublime attack.
A run to the semis will be a decent tournament, with Gareth Southgate facing a far more stringent challenge than the kind draw at the World Cup.
For those reason I have Portugal to win but expect England to put in a solid showing, with Harry Kane battling Romelu Lukaku, Kylian Mbappe and CR7 for another golden boot.
Messrs Foden, Grealish and possibly Rice should feature among the competition's brightest emerging talents.
